Are there any 500+lbs open RNY patients out there with any suggestions?

I am a 500+lbs and am going in for an open RNY, with a gall bladder removal in 2 weeks and I was wondering if anyone has a detailed account of their experience, or any suggestions to help in the recovery. I am not so concerned about the hospital stay, but the first few weeks home. Like getting up and down from beds and chairs. I know I am a prime candidate for a hernia and I am going to to do everything to avoid it if possible.
